In this study, Particulate carbon were determined from 1990 to 1995. The annual variation were investigated. The sampling was carried out using high volume air sampler. Average concentrations of EC and OC during the yellow sand event were $25.70{\mu}g/m^3$ and $13.91{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively, $22.10{\mu}g/m^3$ and $10.33{\mu}g/m^3$ during the non-yellow sand event. TC concentration of TSP were 10.7% during the yellow sand event and 20.6% during the non-yellow sand event. Average concentration rate of EC and OC of TC were 64.9% and 35.1%, respectively during the yellow sand event, 67.6% and 32.4% during the non-yellow sand event.

An orchestrated attempt was made to analyze samples of bulk and individual particulate matters (PM) collected at the Gosan ground-based station on the west coast of Jeju, Korea. A two-stage filter pack sampler was operated to collect particles in both large (> $1.2\;{\mu}m$) and small size fractions (< $1.2\;{\mu}m$) between the Asian dust (hereafter called "AD") storm event and non-Asian dust period. Elemental components in bulk and individual particles were determined by PIXE and synchrotron XRF analysis systems, respectively. To assess the transport pathways of air parcels and to determine the spatial distribution of PM, the backward trajectories of the Meteorological Data Explorer (Center for Global Environmental Research, 2010) and the NOAA's HYSPLIT dispersion-trajectory models were applied. In line with general expectations, Si and other crustal elements in large size particles showed considerably higher mass loading on AD days in comparison with non-AD days. Computation of the crustal enrichment factors [(Z/Si)$_{particle}$/(Z/Si)$_{desert}$ sand] of elements in large size particles (> $1.2\;{\mu}m$) allowed us to estimate the source profile and chemical aging of AD particles as well as to classify the soil-origin elements. On the basis of a single particle analysis, individual AD particles are classified into three distinct groups (neutralized mineral particles, S-rich mineral particles, and imperfectly neutralized particles).

The vertical profiles and optical properties of Asian dust are investigated using ground-based measurements from 1998 to 2002. Vertical profiles of aerosol extinction coefficient are evaluated using MPL (Micro Pulse Lidar) data. Optical parameters such as aerosol optical thickness ($\tau$), ${\AA}ngstr\ddot{o}m$ exponent ($\alpha$), single scattering albedo ($\omega$), refractive index, and volume size distribution are analyzed with sun/sky radiometer data for the same period. We can separate aerosol vertical profiles into three categories. First category named as 'Asian dust case', which aerosol extinction coefficient is larger than $0.15km^{-1}$ and dust layer exists from surface up to 3-4km. Second category named as 'Elevated aerosol case', which aerosol layer exists between 2 and 6km with 1-2.5km thickness, and extinction coefficient is smaller than $0.15km^{-1}$. Third category named as 'Clear sky case', which aerosol extinction coefficient appears smaller than $0.15km^{-1}$. and shows that diurnal variation of background aerosol in urban area. While optical parameters for first category indicate that $\tau$ and $\alpha$ are $0.63{\pm}0.14$, $0.48{\pm}0.19$, respectively. Also, aerosol volume concentration is increased for range of 1 and $4{\mu}m$, in coarse mode. Optical parameters for second category can be separated into two different types. Optical properties of first type are very close to Asian dust cases. Also, dust reports of source region and backward trajectory analyses assure that these type is much related with Asian dust event. However, optical properties of the other type are similar to those of urban aerosol. For clear sky case, $\tau$ is relatively smaller and $\alpha$ is larger compare with other cases. Each case shows distinct characteristics in aerosol optical parameters.

2010년 11월 11-13일 한반도에 영향을 미쳤던 황사에 대해 WRF-Chem 모델을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. WRF-Chem 모델에서 미세먼지의 인위적 배출량은 RETRO 전구 배출량을 사용하였고, RADM2 화학 메커니즘과 MADE/SORGAM 에어로졸 스킴 및 GOCART 광물성 먼지 옵션을, 그리고 Fast-J 광해리 스킴을 선택하여 $PM_{10}$ 농도를 시뮬레이션 하였는데 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. WRF-Chem 모델 결과에 따른 $PM_{10}$ 농도의 공간적 분포와 연직 프로파일 분석결과 2010년 11월 11-13일에 우리나라에 영향을 미쳤던 황사는 강한 가을황사로 저기압의 발달로 인해 형성된 콤마구름 때문에 황사가 한랭전선 후면에서 갇혀 상공 2.5 km 이내에서 이동 및 유입됨을 알 수 있었다. 황사 발생 기간 동안 백령도와 서울의 기상청 관측 자료와 모델의 $PM_{10}$ 농도를 시계열로 분석한 결과 상관계수와 평균제곱근오차(RMSE)는 백령도의 경우 0.763과 $192.73{\mu}g/m^3$, 서울의 경우 0.725와 $149.68{\mu}g/m^3$로 나타났다. 미세먼지인 $PM_{10}$과 $PM_{2.5}$ 농도의 공간적 분포는 유사하였고 $PM_{2.5}$가 $PM_{10}$의 약 50% 정도로 나타났으며 이는 기상청 UM-ADAM 모델 결과와도 유사하였다. $PM_{10}$ 농도와 경계층 높이, 동서 성분 바람장의 공간적 분포는 유사성을 지니고 있어 두 개의 변수를 이용하여 $PM_{10}$의 농도를 예측하는 회귀 방정식을 구하고자 우리나라에 영향을 미쳤던 강한 가을 황사(2010년 11월 11-13일)와 봄 황사(2011년 3월 19-20일) 사례를 선정하였고, 통계 모델을 이용한 회귀식을 도출하였다.

This present study describes an application of UV scanning spectrometer $O_4$ data for retrieval of aerosol vertical profiles in Seoul during the measurement period that includes two Asian dust event days. The results show large variations of aerosol load in vertical and temporal scales. Large variations in aerosol were observed at 1 km in height during the daytime in the measurement period when the Asian dust events took place. The aerosol load, however, was found to be largest at the surface compared to those retrieved at the higher atmospheric layers. The results also clearly identified the diurnal patterns of aerosol vertical distributions. The aerosol load was high in the morning and noon whereas it was low in the afternoon. This study demonstrates that UV scanning spectrometer observations of the oxygen dimer can serve as a potential method for determination of atmospheric aerosol vertical distributions and optical properties.

The purpose of this study was to invesitigate relationship between rainfall water quality and precipitation characteristic during the accumulated rainfall and rainless period. As the results of the analysis, rainfall water quality was improved in the rainfall duration. Correlation coefficients between rainwater quality and accumulated rainfall were $0.88{\sim}0.99$ except $Cl^-$. and that between rainless period and initial rainfall water quality were $0.62{\sim}0.75$. During the Asian dust event, concentration of the turbidity, BOD and electric conductivity were high. Therefore, it shows that the rainfall water quality is effected by atmospheric conditions before the rainfall events.

Northeast Asian regions have recently become the main source of anthropogenic and natural aerosols. Measurement of aerosols on the sea in these regions have been rarely conducted since the experimental campaigns such as ACE-ASIA (Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment) in 2001. Research vessel observations of aerosol mass and chemical composition were performed on the Yellow and south sea around the Korean peninsula. The ship measurements showed six representative cases such as aerosol event and non-event cases during the study periods. On non-event cases, the anthropogenic chemical and natural soil composition on the Yellow sea were greater than those on the south sea. On aerosol event cases such as haze, haze with dust, and dust, the measured mass concentrations of anthropogenic chemical and element compositions were clearly changed by the events. In particular, methanesulfonate ($MSA^-$, $CH_3SO_3^-$), a main component of natural oceanic aerosol important for sulfur circulation on Earth, was first observed by the vessel in Korea, and its concentration on the Yellow sea was three times that on the south sea during the study period. Sea salt concentration important to chemical composition on the sea is related to wind speed. Coefficients of determination ($R^2$) between wind speed and sea salt concentration were 0.68 in $PM_{10}$ and 0.82 in $PM_{2.5}$. Maximum wave height was not found to be correlated to the sea salt concentration. When sea-salt comes into contact with pollutants, the total sea-salt mass is reduced, i.e., a loss of $Cl^-$ concentration from NaCl, the main chemical composing sea salt, is estimated by reaction with $HNO_3$(gas) and $H_2SO_4$(gas). The $Cl^-$ concentration loss by $SO_4^{2-}$ and $NO_3^-$ more easily increased for $PM_{10}$ compared to $PM_{2.5}$. The results of this study will be applied to verifying a dust-haze forecasting model. In addition, continued vessel measurements of aerosol data will become important to research for climate change studies in the future.

Aerosol observation with Raman LIDAR in NIES (National Institute for Environmental Studies, Japan) LIDAR network was conducted from 17 April to 12 June 2008 over Beijing, China. The aerosol optical properties derived from Raman LIDAR were compared with the retrieved data from sun photometer and sky radiometer observations in the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). The comparison provided the complete knowledge of aerosol optical and physical properties in Beijing, especially in pollution and Asian dust events. The averaged aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 675 nm was 0.81 and the Angstrom exponent between 440 nm and 675 nm was 0.99 during experiment. The LIDAR derived AOD at 532 nm in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) was 0.48, which implied that half of the total AOD was contributed by the aerosol in PBL. The corresponding averaged LIDAR ratio and total depolarization ratio (TDR) were 48.5sr and 8.1%. The negative correlation between LIDAR ratio and TDR indicated the LIDAR ratio decreased with aerosol size because of the high TDR associated with nonspherical and large aerosols. The typical volume size distribution of the aerosol clearly demonstrated that the coarse mode radius located near 3 ${\mu}m$ in dust case, a bi-mode with fine particle centered at 0.2 ${\mu}m$ and coarse particle at 2 ${\mu}m$ was the characteristic size distribution in the pollution and clean cases. The different size distributions of aerosol resulted in its different optical properties. The retrieved LIDAR ratio and TDR were 41.1sr and 19.5% for a dust event, 53.8sr and 6.6% for a pollution event as well as 57.3sr and 7.2% for a clean event. In conjunction with the observed surface wind field near the LIDAR site, most of the pollution aerosols were produced locally or transported from the southeast of Beijing, whereas the dust aerosols associated with the clean air mass were transported by the northwesterly or southwesterly winds.

연구 배경 : 세계적으로 Asian dust로 알려져 있는 황사는 주로 봄철 중국과 몽고의 사막지역에서 발생하는 모래먼지로 수천 킬로미터를 이동하여 낙하하는 자연적으로 발생되는 대표적인 오염 물질이다. 한반도에 영향을 미치는 황사는 주로 $10{\mu}m$이하의 미세먼지($PM_{10}$)로서 $PM_{10}$의 증가는 황사현상의 증가와 매우 밀접한 관련이 있다. $PM_{10}$은 호흡기에 침착이 가능하고 따라서 호흡기 증상 및 폐기능에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져있으나 아직 이에 대한 병리기전의 연구는 미미하여 기존에 추정되는 $PM_{10}$의 병리기전 이외에 황사 먼지의 이동에 따르는 미생물의 전파, 특히 바이러스의 전파에 대한 연구는 임상적으로 의미가 있을 것으로 생각되며 황사시 바이러스 감염 질환 자체의 발생을 알아 보기위해 황사시 대기에서 시료를 채취하여 바이러스의 존재 유무에 대해 연구하였다. 방 법 : $PM_{10}$은 인천지역 10군데에서 측정하였으며 고용량 대기 포집기(HA 500F, Sibata, 일본)를 이용하여 하루에 한번씩 포집하였다. 공기포집기의 흡입용량인 500 L/min으로 6시간 시행하였다. 시료를 흡착하기 위하여 $0.25{\mu}m$ pore size의 지름이 110mm 인 Glass microfiber filter( Prefilter AP 15, 124mm)를 이용하였다. nfluenza virus, 구제역에 관계된 Piconaviridae의 Aphthovirus속인 RNA바이러스, Hog cholera virus 돼지콜레라 바이러스) 의 검출을 위해 수집한 membrane filter를 전처리하여 Polymerase chain reaction으로 바이러스를 확인하였다. 결 과 : 연구 기간 중 24시간 평균 $PM_{10}$수치는 황사 발생일에 $148.0{\mu}g/m^3$, 비황사발생일에 $57.0{\mu}g/m^3$ 로 차이를 보였다. 2003년과 2004년 4월부터 8월 사이에 채취한 시료에서 검출 대상 바이러스인 Influenza virus A, B, Hog cholera virus, 구제역에 관련된 Aphthovirus등은 검출되지 않았다. 결 론 : 연구는 연구기간 동안에 황사의 발생이 적어 충분한 연구가 되지 못하였으며, 또한 검출하고자 했던 바이러스질환의 발생도 적어 실제 황사와의 관련성을 규명하기에 적절한 연구가 이루어지질 못했다. 향후 황사 발생과 바이러스질환의 유행이 일치하는 시점에 좀더 광범위한 시료의 채취 방법으로 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

동아시아지역을 대상으로 황사배출량 산정 모듈 및 이를 적용한 예보시스템을 개발하였고, 개발된 모형의 화학수송모델링 정합도 및 실시간 예보 운영 평가를 진행하였다. 2015년 화학수송모델링 정합도 평가 결과, 중국 지역에서는 황사 배출량을 적용한 예보 모형이 과대평가하는 기간이 있으나 대부분 지역에서 저평가 되었던 $PM_{10}$ 을 보완하고, 통계수치가 개선되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한국 지역에서는 황사 발생일인 2월 22일~24일, 3월 16일~17일(서울지역대상)에는 황사의 유입을 적절히 모사하였으나 황사가 관측되지 않은 4월에는 황사를 적용한 예보모델이 과대평가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 황사를 적용한 예보모형은 한반도 대부분 지역에서 저평가 되었던 $PM_{10}$ 을 보완하고, 통계수치가 개선되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 2017년 예보 성능 평가 결과, 황사배출량을 적용한 예보모델은 기존 모델과 비교하였을 때, POD는 대부분 개선되지만, A는 유사 또는 감소, FAR는 대부분 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 황사배출량을 적용한 예보모형은 동아시아 지역에 저평가 하고 있는 $PM_{10}$ 을 보완하는 장점이 있지만, 황사배출량 산정의 불확실성 등이 내제되어 모델이 측정값을 과대모의하여 오경보율이 높다. 따라서 한반도 지역에 대표 대기질 예보모형으로 사용하기는 부적절하다고 판단된다. 그러나 황사 기간에는 황사배출량 모델의 모사성능은 우수하였으므로, 황사가 발생하는 기간에는 기존 모델과 융합하여 예보관이 예보하는 것이 필요하다고 사료된다.
